Hi, my name is Rishabh Shanbhag 👋
I’m a tech strategist, consultant, and (recently) a student, passionate about building solutions that benefit humanity.
Since you’re looking at my website, you might want to get in touch with me 📬
I’m an impact-driven professional with experience across consulting, fintech, and entrepreneurship. I began my professional journey at Deloitte Consulting in Pennsylvania, where I spent almost five years optimizing large-scale healthcare tech systems, enhancing access and efficiency for millions of U.S. citizens, and earning multiple awards for excellence.
To broaden my perspective and deepen my business expertise, I pursued an MBA at Imperial College London, followed by my current role as an MSMS degree candidate at MIT Sloan School of Management, where I am focusing on entrepreneurship and innovation. As a SERC Scholar at MIT’s Schwarzman College of Computing, I am also exploring the social and ethical challenges posed by AI-driven deepfakes.
Outside of academics, I’ve co-founded ventures, pitched an ed-tech startup as a Hult Prize Summit Finalist, developed iOS tweaks for which I was featured in Forbes, and was listed among Inc. Magazine’s ’13 of Today’s Best Social Media All-Stars’ at the age of 19. My work reflects a commitment to leveraging technology for scalable impact and empowering others.
Originally from Mumbai, India, I am currently based in Cambridge, MA, as I pursue my studies at MIT Sloan and continue building solutions that create meaningful change.
